Things to do in Lucerne, Canton of Lucerne: The Best History Museums
Lucerne is an ancient town with strikingly modern sensibilities. One of Europe’s oldest covered bridges serves as its centerpiece, and fresco-adorned historic houses line the streets, but it’s also home to the cutting-edge KKL, a concert hall and art gallery. Take the cableways up the Pilatus, Stanserhorn or Rigi mountains for breathtaking views, or see Lake Lucerne on a steamship cruise.

Built around a glacial pothole that has survived since the Ice Age, this museum also displays artifacts from throughout the town's history. Moreover, a special mirror maze is always a highlight for every person.

Overall Ratings

This gigantic panoramic work by Edouard Castres from 1881 is 112 metres long and 10 metres high and is one of the most impressive spectacles in the history of the Panorama medium..It depicts the eastern French army under General Bourbaki during.its memorable escape to Switzerland during the Franco-Prussian War in.the harsh winter of 1871. The internment.of the 87,000-strong battalion is regarded as the largest admission of refugees ever carried out by Switzerland. A sculptured terrain with figures and props is placed in front of the painting, giving the entire scene a remarkable three-dimensional effect. This huge space depicts the huge mass of people as well as many individual fates and humanitarian acts. Edouard Castres, who produced the painting, was an “embedded” artist in a sense as he accompanied the army as a Red Cross volunteer.

This panorama picture with video as well depicts the crossing of French troops into Switzerland when pursued by the German army in the Franco/Prussian war in 1870. It is memorable, fascinating in its detail and really worth viewing for anyone interested in art or history.

We wanted to have a peep into the local history and expected it to be a short trip. But it was unexpectedly exciting and we wish we could have spent more time. The audio scanner guides helped understand a lot about the exhibits. The best part was kids qna guide based on a theme you choose. My daughter chose dragons and knights and her audio guide gave her tasks and clues to find and exhibits and scan them and notice and enter details about them. We din realise 2hrs were gone so soon. For completing the tasks she won a souvenir coin. If you understand German kids and adults can participate or watch plays based on history.
